Another day, another muslim mob attacking infidels.

Clashes in Nigerian city kill at least 5: Red Cross

FIVE people were killed and four others injured today in sectarian clashes between Muslims and Christians over places of worship in northern Nigeria’s Bauchi state.

A Muslim mob went on a rampage, attacking Christians and burning churches in reprisals over the burning of two mosques overnight in Bauchi, which the Muslims blamed on Christians.

“I saw five dead bodies on the streets this morning, one of them was burnt,” resident Muazu Hardawa said.

Tension had risen in Bauchi since February 13, when members of a Pentecostal church opposite a mosque in the area barricaded a pathway outside the church used by Muslims attending Friday prayers, residents said.

Clashes between Muslim and Christian gangs provoked by a disputed election killed hundreds of people in Jos, capital of neighbouring Plateau state, in November, the worst unrest in Africa’s most populous nation for several years.

A spokesman for the governor of Plateau state said the security forces were on high alert.

“We have placed security here in Jos on red alert. We want to forestall any eventuality here,” Dan Manjang said, adding the situation was calm.

So two mosques were burned down. No big deal, considering the dozens of churches these vermin have vandalized. This looks like the first of many such clashes, as Christians begin to fight back against marauding muslim mobs. Too bad we can’t all be so pro-active against the fanatics.
